Most closely associated with the UK’s Clore Leadership Programme, it has been developed through various courses and initiatives domestically and internationally, initially as a response to crises of financial management and governance within major cultural institutions. This emergence of cultural leadership coincided with growing political interest in the social benefits of the arts and the economic potential of the creative industries. However, the concept is rarely clearly defined or critically analysed, while the political and economic environment in which the cultural sector operates has been transformed since the term was coined. This research investigates the evolution of cultural leadership as a discursive formation in these contexts. It traces the short history of the term itself and situates it within longer trajectories of cultural policy. Through critical discourse analysis the research questions the relationship between ‘cultural leadership’ and ‘cultural leaders’, asking who creates the circumstances in which art is produced and culture shaped. Leadership itself is reconsidered theoretically as an aspect of political action. Detailed interviews with influential cultural sector professionals are analysed as an empirical complement to literature around cultural history, policy and artistic leadership. The analysis reconfigures cultural leadership as a dynamic process arising from relationships between creative practice and social, political and organisational development. Outlining the respective roles of government, the public and the sector, it proposes a framework for understanding leadership through the interplay of action and influence within and beyond the cultural workforce. Indicating that cultural leadership has a vital critical role to play in democratic society, the research argues for more effective engagement between sectoral leaders, including artists, and questions of policy and cultural value. Its findings are significant for the future study and development of cultural leadership nationally and internationally. Keywords: culture, leadership, cultural leadership, discourse, cultural policy, artists, art and society, democracy. iii To Ellie iv Acknowledgements Preparing a Ph.D. is far from the solitary journey that some might imagine it to be and, as anyone who’s tried it will tell you, it’s your family, friends and fellow travellers who make the whole thing possible. Sincere thanks are due: To my principal supervisor, Professor Anne Douglas, who has given so generously of her time, energy and intellect to this research. Without Anne’s previous work this opportunity would not have existed, so, on many levels, thank you. Also to my other supervisors Professor Paul Harris (years 1 and 2) and Dr Robert Halsall (year 3), whose different forms of expertise and shared enthusiasm for the research have been enormously helpful. To all my participating interviewees who gave freely of their valuable time and considerable insight. Also to Stephan Wynants of EACEA, who helped set up the interviews with Barbara and Arnaud, and special thanks to François Matarasso and Chris Fremantle, who made additional time for me at various points on the way. Chris’s role in the Artist as Leader research alongside Anne was foundational to this work. To the superb community of research students at Gray’s of which I have been fortunate to be a part. Drs Chu Chu Yuan, Helen Smith, Melehat Nil Gülari and Peter Buwert showed me the ropes while Caroline Gausden, Hilal Bugali and everyone from the DART and Reading Group sessions helped keep me going. Special thanks to Hilal for her expert work on the illustrations for this thesis and to Caroline, Lance and Guyatri for welcoming me into their home. To my parents, Peter and Jennifer Price, who have been there for me throughout with kind words, interest and encouragement. Above all, to my wife Elaine, whose strength, wisdom and patience I have no adequate words to describe, but to whom this thesis is dedicated with love. v vi Table of contents Abstract iii Acknowledgements v Table of contents vii List of figures xii List of appendices xii Chapter 1: Introduction to the research 1 1.1.

  • Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford University
    WILLIAMS-EXETER PROGRAMME AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY Director: Professor Gretchen Long THE PROGRAMME Williams College offers a year-long program of studies at Oxford University in co-operation with Exeter College (founded in 1314), one of the constituent colleges of the University. Williams students will be enrolled as Visiting Students at Exeter and as such will be undergraduate members of the University, eligible for access to virtually all of its facilities, libraries, and resources. As Visiting Students in Oxford, students admitted to the Programme will be fully integrated into the intellectual and social life of one of the world’s great universities. Although students on the Programme will be members of Exeter College, entitled to make full use of Exeter facilities (including the College Library), dine regularly in Hall, and join all College clubs and organizations on the same terms as other undergraduates at Exeter, students will reside in Ephraim Williams House, a compound of four buildings owned by Williams College, roughly 1.4 miles north of the city centre. Up to six students from Exeter College will normally reside in Ephraim Williams House each year, responsible for helping to integrate Williams students into the life of the College and the University. A resident director (and member of the Williams faculty) administers Ephraim Williams House, oversees the academic program, and serves as both the primary academic and personal advisor to Williams students in Oxford. Students on the Williams-Exeter Programme are required to be in residence in Oxford from Tuesday, 25 September 2018, until all academic work for Trinity term is complete (potentially as late as at least 28 June 2019) with two breaks for vacations between the three terms.

In the second half of the 1970s, Brian Eno, Larry Fast, Mickey Hart, Stomu Yamashta and many other musicians blurred the lines between rock and avantgarde. Brian Eno (34), ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (sep 1974 - nov 1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on television commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (aug 1975 - sep 1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (? 1977 - dec 1977). Here Eno's catchy ditties acquired a sinister quality.

YALE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Professor James W. Hay Professor Steven G. Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago Professor Cameron R. McCarthy ABSTRACT Runaway production is a phrase commonly used by Hollywood film and television production labor to describe the outsourcing of production work to foreign locations. It is an issue that has been credited with siphoning tens of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs from the U.S. economy. Despite broad interest in runaway production by journalists, politicians, academics, and media labor interests, and despite its potential impact on hundreds of thousands—and perhaps millions—of workers in the U.S., there has been very little critical analysis of its historical development and function as a political and economic discourse. Through extensive archival research, this dissertation critically examines the history of runaway production, from its introduction in postwar Hollywood to its present use in describing the development of highly competitive television and film production industries in Canada. From a political economic perspective, I argue that the history of runaway production demonstrates how Hollywood’s multinational media corporations have leveraged production work to cultivate goodwill and industry-friendly trade policies across global media markets.

  • Resetting the Stage PUBLIC THEATRE BETWEEN the MARKET and DEMOCRACY
    KLAIC DRAGAN KLAIC Resetting the Stage PUBLIC THEATRE BETWEEN THE MARKET AND DEMOCRACY By Dragan Klaic Resetting the Stage Commercial theatre is thriving across Europe, while public theatre has suffered under changing patterns of cultural consumption – as well as sharp reductions in government subsidies for the arts. At a time when the rationale behind these subsidies is being widely reexamined, it has never been more important for public theatre to demonstrate its continued merit. In Resetting the Stage, Dragan Klaic argues convincingly that, in an increasingly crowded market of cultural goods, public theatre is best served not by imitating its much larger commercial counterpart, but by asserting its artistic distinctiveness and the considerable benefit this confers on the public. Dragan Klaic was a well-respected theatre scholar and cultural analyst. In his versatile career, he was professor and lecturer at universities in Amsterdam, Belgrade, Bologna, Budapest, Istanbul and Leiden, and held various positions in numerous institutions and foundations world-wide – from director to board member or permanent fellow.

  • Re-Visioning Arts and Cultural Policy
    Chapter 6: Managing creativity and cultivating culture Let us briefly summarise the case developed in this monograph. Government ideas about how to support arts and culture were traditionally very limited in their success and effectiveness. Historically, governments spent little on culture and what was spent tended to be earmarked for the elite arts sector. Arguably this support was not motivated by ambitions to broaden awareness of culture more generally in the community, but by notions of `showcasing' endorsed representations of elite culture. Support was given to major signature institutions which constituted an oasis of culture, often situated in major cities. Gradually, a greater range of activities began to be classified as `culture' and from the 1960s onwards, governments were persuaded to invest more widely in these various cultural activities. Two things happened in parallel: government financial support widened to include many new and different forms of culture (films, festivals, events, more institutions, local community developments), and the older forms of arts patronage became more and more expensive to operate and sustain (owing to escalating costs, increased investments, artistic purchases, artistic salaries, and bureaucratic administration). These parallel developments put considerable pressure on the system. On the supply side, production expanded as more people were able to practice various artforms and the costs of participating became more manageable to intending contributors. Changing technologies, better equipment, new media and more variable inputs meant that the arts and cultural sector was now more accessible to potential contributors. The sector became wide open to new players, not due to the policies of the old elite guard but due to initiatives of the new participants themselves.
